I’ve deleted all spam messages in the forum. The spam messages number was so high that cleaning selectively would have been an impossible work so it might have happened that some legitimate messages got lost in the process (although I tried to be as careful as possible). The same counts for user accounts created in 2009. Hundreds of spam accounts were created and I had to delete them tout court (they were actually SO many that it was impossible to delete them in bulk as the process would eat up the server’s allocated memory for my account). So, if some legitimate users joined recently, their account or posts are lost (I doubt that happened though. Just in case, if you had an account and you can’t log in, just contact me).
As I told before, I’ll most likely remove the forum if it keeps on being inactive. I’m probably going to rebuild it from the ground up and stick it to my webcomic site (leaving the old UnK posts that I could save in a closed historical archive or something) Meanwhile, I’m updating phpBB to the latest version, and close any new automatic sign up, each sign up will have to be approved by me manually.
